Jacob Underwood Poems

Sweetened light I'm chasing through winds to see
Wishes of ends perfect inside ruby wheels
The dreaming of my heart grants as it steals
My future new flipped over on its heels
...

I see you gracefully dancing on the leaves of the rhubarb bluebird
Picking out seeds inspecting them with your little eyes bluebird
A great father you are willing to go through gale winds for them bluebird
I respect seeing you not crumbling like stalwart like the tree you live in bluebird
...

Take in the brisk frigid air as clouds dance in
The broken bottles of glass line streets
Liveliness lining the sidewalk
Loudly shouting down for you
...

wire strains from your eyes with made up sea crashed idols.
as you beat your fingers against anything you can each touch like blasted cymbals.
as you pick your throat with a voice so harsh and demanding to make even drowned noodles -
go stiff. with you tormenting everyone else with a gopher-Ish sickly sonata.
...

Painted reindeer lights stain your walls years before their time.
As you spit out angles and numbers
without directive sight.
...

such a snake shimmering luster and greed there is nothing that you don't need.
fangs and bite leaving gasoline splattered over the orange skies complete.
skies fading into neon pink sparkling fruitful with tiny shards ok blue to decorate.
you are to feed on the gluttony of the skies color we all know it its hard to hide your hunger.
...

as the crunch of winter fades in and whisps a flurry across July ashes
hanging old snapdragon dried up into coffee gray skulls.
dead dust twinkles from them to the ground with not a sound not a pulse
...

I must please and sway with glitter and glass as it rains from swaying silvered broken chandeliers.

as wires of French gray revolt out of their throats every chord and melody spelling, I want you.
...

eyes of darkened quartz and skin dotted with freckles like fish
bait in an endless ocean
stumbling around mazes of fountain grass cackling like an old
man
...

The slew of Ivy reigns across the -sheets and sunken pillow
while silver needles break and -flake upon every thought
Every shake and change of fate -comes creaking from the window
Makes the stem bare their teeth -again for what was taught
...
